The book titled "Gilda Joyce" is centered around a highly intelligent girl named Gilda Joyce.

She is determined to solve the mystery of a missing girl. The question of who made this girl disappear and who the girl actually was haunts Gilda.

This story is a captivating mystery that unfolds as Gilda investigates the disappearance while also being a writer at her home, penning down her own stories.

I have a great affinity for this book. The reason being that it has an irresistible charm that keeps you hooked and makes it nearly impossible to put down.

As the mystery progresses, it becomes increasingly confusing, which paradoxically makes it even better. The more convoluted it gets, the stronger the urge within you to know the truth - who was responsible for the girl's disappearance and who that girl was.

It's this element of mystery and the drive to uncover the truth that makes "Gilda Joyce" such an engaging read.

This was my favorite book as a kid! And it’s still fantastic.

When you really think about it, it's quite a morbid story for a children's book. A young high school student drowns in the school's lake as a result of a heinous prank. However, I'm not complaining. I truly love this book.

The story had a profound impact on me when I was a child. It introduced me to the idea that not everything in life is all sunshine and rainbows. There are darker aspects that we need to face and understand.

Even though the subject matter is rather disturbing, the author managed to handle it in a way that was both engaging and thought-provoking. The characters were well-developed, and I found myself really caring about what happened to them.

Overall, this book will always hold a special place in my heart. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best stories are the ones that make us feel uncomfortable and force us to confront our own emotions.

I truly have an immense love for Gilda Joyce and all of her mildly obnoxious character traits.

She is an absolute delight. There is something about her that just draws me in and makes me unable to resist her charm.

Her mild obnoxiousness only adds to her appeal, making her stand out from the crowd.

It's as if she doesn't care what others think and is unapologetically herself.

This kind of authenticity is rare and refreshing.

Every time I encounter Gilda Joyce in a story or a movie, I can't help but smile and be entertained by her antics.

She is truly one of a kind, and I will always cherish her and her unique personality.

I hope that there will be many more adventures and stories featuring Gilda Joyce in the future.

Because I simply can't get enough of her.

Gilda is truly excited about going to a new school, but not for the typical reasons. There's a captivating mystery that awaits her there. The mystery of how Dolores Lambert died has piqued her interest, and she is determined to solve it at all costs.


She throws herself into this task with such intensity that her schoolwork unfortunately starts to suffer. Meanwhile, in her home life, there's a new development. Brad has moved in, and it's not sitting well with Gilda. He lost his job, and although her mom assures her it's only temporary, Gilda can't help but despise the situation.


Brad seems to be forcefully inserting himself into their lives. He even bought Stephen a car and managed to get Gilda into the prestigious school she's currently attending. However, Gilda is different from the other girls. She acts far older than her age, showing no interest in boys or makeup, which are the obsessions of her peers. This makes her stand out as rather strange. But Gilda couldn't care less. All she truly cares about is fulfilling her dream of being a psychic investigator and solving the mystery of Dolores' death.

Gilda is increasingly curious about the girl who drowned on the campus. She wonders who the girl truly was.

One day, she makes the decision to skip class and heads over to the bridge. It is said that when you yell over this bridge, the girl who drowned will come and haunt you. Driven by her desire for more information, Gilda decides to give it a try and yells over the bridge.

After she yells, she hears a voice. However, to her surprise, it is just a weird girl from her class. They end up deciding to hang out. So, after school, Gilda goes to the girl's house.

Once there, strange things begin to occur. This story, in my opinion, is very good. It is filled mostly with mystery and has some scary elements as well. It is truly a captivating book that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a touch of the supernatural.

Ok, so this book truly inspired me to go out and buy a typewriter! I simply love everything about it.

In this captivating book, Gilda Joyce finds herself attending an all-girls Catholic school. She has to deal with crazy teachers, annoying and snooty girls, and to top it off, there's a GHOST! She quickly discovers that there is far more than meets the eye to this seemingly "perfect" school.

Immediately, Gilda puts her not-fully-developed psychic skills to use in an attempt to figure out why the ghost of Dolores Lambert haunts the halls of Our Lady Of Sorrows. The book is written in a light-hearted and humorous style, with a great flow that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. It's the perfect read to get the spooks on a rainy night!

I highly recommend this book if you have a child who is into paranormal phenomena, just like me. Jennifer Allison has once again managed to create a truly entertaining and engaging story that will leave readers wanting more.

Gilda's mom has a new boyfriend, and unfortunately, Gilda doesn't like him at all. However, there is one upside to this situation. He manages to get her into an exclusive girls' school. Gilda, being a freshman, decides to attend this school. The reason? It's housed in an old mansion, and she senses that there might be a ghost or a mystery lurking within its walls, or perhaps both. And she isn't wrong.

Soon enough, she discovers that three years ago, a freshman girl met a tragic end. She fell through the ice on the school lake and drowned. Now, it seems that her spirit is haunting the place, especially during what would have been her senior year.

This series isn't just about ghosts and psychics, though. Gilda believes she has psychic abilities, but the actual contact with the ghost is kept to a minimum, mostly just a creepy feeling. Similar to the other books in the series, the story progresses partly through the letters Gilda types on her typewriter to her deceased father. Gilda is witty and clever, making the books a joy to read. If you're a fan of Sammy Keyes, then you're sure to LOVE Gilda Joyce!

The power is out, and it's such an unexpected situation.

But you know what? It has given me an opportunity to do something I haven't done in a long time. I am sitting here, reading books from elementary school.

As I turn the pages, it's like taking a trip down memory lane. And wow, this one book I've just picked up is absolutely fabulous.

The stories and illustrations in it are so charming and engaging. It makes me forget all about the power outage and just immerse myself in this wonderful world of childhood literature.

It's amazing how these old books can still hold so much magic and bring so much joy. I'm really enjoying this quiet moment of rediscovery.

Who knows, maybe when the power comes back on, I'll still have a newfound appreciation for these elementary school books.
